This place...top-heavy
The in-betweens drown slowly
Fade to nothingness

Sad story in so few words-great stuff
Such a dismally sad haiku. It evokes so much emotion with so few words.
This resonates perfectly with my emotional health today on this dark, rainy and cold day. Very heady haiku.
This was heartbreaking and deep. Lovely.
you are among one of the best writers, keep up the good work
Oh Novel. Sorry for not commenting for a long time😁. Yeah really I think most of the people has the experience. Good job
Heartbreaking Novel.... 💚 It's been a while, how have you been?
It makes me think about how we sometimes get lost in the in betweens. Thank you for sharing
Mysterious, reflective, and beautiful. Wonderful work, Novel!
Insightful and masterfully-crafted as usual No No! Was so excited 2 see your work again! I hope that life is treating you well, embracing you lovingly, kissing you gently upon your forehead, and all that good stuff! Sending a hug of comfort to you friend!!
Intriguing
I felt this, this hit hard! Love your poem, sending you lots love! 💌
Sounds like the beginning of a great story packed into a haiku! Great job :)
Novel, you sure know how to pack so much into such a short piece. Hope you're well!
It really feels like that here for real. A kind of hierarchy that just sticks---unmoving and one feels going nowhere fast. Beating a brick wall maybe...hope not.
This was so poignant and felt relatable as well. Hope you're doing okay Momma. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
